- Summary:
- Banks and other financial institutions play a fundamental role in any economy. They have a correspondingly crucial role to play in achieving sustainable economic development. This is the first book to explain how they can contribute -- and the steps to take. The first part sets the context of environmental imperatives and the responses of governments, business and financial services. The author then examines the initiatives already under way, and what else is feasible. He finally argues that more far-reaching changes and a revitalization of the economic system are needed and then describes how this can be achieved by the financial sector.
